Running backs are usually the fastest players in football, but the fastest in Madden NFL 26 have a huge edge on the field. While running backs need a mix of skills to be effective, speed is one of the most vital.
This year, Madden NFL 26 has a new overhaul to Franchise Mode, but many main mechanics stay the same. Speed remains a key part of playing, just like in real life. Usually, if a running back gets past defenders, it almost always results in a touchdown. Here are the ten fastest running backs in Madden NFL 26.
10. Isiah Pacheco
Pacheco, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs and a Super Bowl star, is known for his speed. Though his overall rating dropped to 83 this year, his stats show why he’s so fast. With a speed rating of 93 and an acceleration of 95, once he starts running, he’s nearly impossible to catch.
9. Breece Hall
Hall has been one of the bright spots for the New York Jets recently. His overall rating is 84, but his speed of 93 and an acceleration of 92 make him highly effective. He’s ready to drop into any offense and can outrun most defenders with his quick moves.
8. Derrick Henry
Henry, from the Tennessee Titans, is not only one of the fastest but also one of the highest-rated players overall. He has a speed of 93, an acceleration of 87, and a powerful running style. His combination of speed and strength makes him very tough to stop, especially with his Freight Train ability.
7. Velus Jones Jr.
Jones, from the New Orleans Saints, is a pure speed player with a speed rating of 94. Despite a lower overall rating of 69, his speed and acceleration of 95 make him a major threat on the field.
6. Kenneth Walker III
Walker, playing for the Seattle Seahawks, is an all-around running back. His speed and acceleration are both at 94, and he has high stats in toughness and ball carrying. He’s a versatile player who can do it all.
5. Keaton Mitchell
Mitchell, a young player for the Baltimore Ravens, has a speed rating of 94 and an acceleration of 95. While he isn’t as well-rounded as Henry, he’s incredibly quick, making big plays possible if you give him space.
4. Saquon Barkley
Barkley, this year’s cover star, is among the fastest players in the game. With a speed of 95 and high Juke and Spin stats, he’s the top running back in Madden NFL 26. His overall rating is 99, and his speed stats are off the charts.
3. Jahmyr Gibbs
Gibbs, a rising star for the Detroit Lions, has seen his Madden ratings increase each year. He now has a 95 overall rating, boosted mainly by his speed of 95. He also has two X-Factor abilities that help him avoid defenders and make quick moves.
2. Bhayshul Tuten
Tuten, a rookie drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars, is the second-fastest in Madden NFL 26, with a speed of 95 and an even higher acceleration of 96. His overall rating is 75, but his raw speed makes him a potential game-changer if given the ball in open space.
1. De’Von Achane
Achane from the Miami Dolphins is the fastest player in Madden NFL 26 with a speed of 96. Though he’s not as balanced as others on this list, no one can keep up with his blazing speed. His quickness and agility make him a threat to burn past defenders every time he touches the ball.
Overall, these players are the quickest in Madden NFL 26 and can help you score faster than anyone else. If speed is the game-changer you want, these are the players to keep an eye on.
